This vehicle features a drive-mode button located to the left of the gear shift lever, which serves as the driving mode selector. The available modes are Eco (Economy), Comfort, and Sport. Pressing this button allows you to switch between modes. Below is an introduction to the three driving modes in the Sportage: Eco Mode: The throttle response becomes notably sluggish, and the transmission shifts up more aggressively. Comfort Mode: The throttle response is more sensitive compared to Eco Mode. Sport Mode: The throttle response is extremely sensitive, and the engine maintains higher RPMs. The transmission only upshifts once the engine reaches the redline zone.

What to Do When the Anti-Theft System is Locked?

There are three methods to resolve the issue when the anti-theft system is locked: 1. Turn the vehicle's power on and off three times consecutively; 2. Disconnect the vehicle's battery for 15 seconds; 3. Wait until the engine fault light appears on the dashboard, then wait a few minutes before attempting to start the engine. If you are unable to resolve the anti-theft lock issue on your own, the only option is to seek assistance from a 4S shop. The vehicle can be towed to the 4S shop for a detailed inspection to determine the specific cause of the anti-theft lock. The issue can then be resolved based on the relevant fault codes, which is the most reliable method. Additional Information: The anti-theft system lock is a type of electronic anti-theft system for vehicles, also known as a chip-based anti-theft system. The basic principle of this system is to lock the vehicle's engine, as well as its electrical and fuel systems. Without using a key with the correct chip, the vehicle cannot be started, making it a highly secure method. Most vehicles today use this type of anti-theft system. The vehicle's chip key functions like a fixed identity recognition code, providing strong security. Once the code becomes disordered, the engine cannot start, and the vehicle cannot be driven.
